William Nylander, Done as a Maple Leaf?

I don't see it as a fascination. Any time a good player is potentially available we generally talk about them.

No, this forum is fascinated with him.

 

He's a 20+ goal, 60+ point player who fades away in the playoffs and people here drool over him.

He's cute

Maybe he plants trees very well

Learned at a young age

meta af

His dad is a god, tho. Maybe if they trade for him we can bring him out of retirement. He'd probably be a better 2C than Chytil. :rofl:

SHOOOOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!!!

As I watched Alex Nylander quite a bit this year, it makes me dislike Willy's game even more.

He's cute

 

Man rocket.

 

 

If Chaz Bono started at 20 instead of 40

It?s just rare that a former #8 overall who?s 22 and has 162 points already might be available.

And probably the lower his value will ever be coming off a shortened season.

 

I wouldn?t put too much emphasis in his playoff stats. 11 pts in 20 games at ages 19-21 isn?t completely terrible.

 

He hasn?t hit his peak, but not sure if he?s a fit here with the assets it would take.

Rangers and Leafs are awful trade partners all around. They both need the same thing, largely, which makes any deal for their forward surplus difficult.

Zibanejad, 23, 151 points, #6 pick

Zibanejad, 23, 151 points, #6 pick

 

He turned into a pretty good player since, no? Rangers won that deal, hands down.

I would deal Strome for Nylander, 2nd

Zibanejad, 23, 151 points, #6 pick

 

Pretty good comparison actually. At same ages, (from draft).

 

Nylander #8 pick

Games- 239

Points- 162

PPG- .678

 

Zib #6 pick

Games- 281

Points- 151

PPG- .537

Very good deal. At this age, data shows that the player has 3-5 of increase in production.

More importantly, they go from learning the game, to being much more complete during this time.

Like I said, perfect age to get ahold of Nylander, but I think it would take much more than what we gave for Zib.

I admit, one of my biggest fears with Nylander, is looking to the future of having Kravtsov, Kakko, Zibanejad, Chytil, Panarin*, Nylander as your top 6. That's not a squad built for the playoffs.

And to add to that...he?s been centered by Matthews quite a bit.

Potential Tavares affect
